Chapter 363: Honesty

******

In fact, when all dynasties conquered the world, there were things about accepting political donations.

Not to mention, when Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built Jinling City, Shen Wansan, a wealthy merchant in Wucheng, helped build one-third of the capital, and Zhu Yuanzhang sealed the officials of his two sons in return;

It's just that Shen Wansan got a little carried away, and after building the city, he didn't know how to cry poor, and he also built a luxurious and comfortable residence in Nanjing, with "1,654 corridors and four restaurants......;

However, the emperor he met pursued the principle of "either don't do it, or do it absolutely." And has a strong hatred for the rich, the most rebellious Shen Wansan was assigned to the army and spent the rest of his life in Yunnan.

This time, Xu Yingjie took the initiative to donate, learned the lesson of Shen Wansan, he did not come forward, he used the name of others, and wanted to win Qin Mu's favor through this move, and at the same time reduce the disgust of others with the "copper smell" of the Xu family, and completely complete the transformation from "business" to "scholar".

But the development of things soon exceeded his expectations, and those old and young relics of the former Ming Dynasty followed the trend and sent political donations, just like this, Qin Mu must be very happy.

But now that things are in trouble, the entire Jiangxi Huguang has been alarmed, and even those lower-class people, out of gratitude to Qin Mu, have taken the initiative to donate a few small money. If you don't accept it, the people won't forgive.

Things have developed to this point, Xu Yingjie panicked, with his understanding of Qin Mu, Qin Mu must be unwilling to accept the donations of those poor people.

The problem is that if you donate less, as long as you have more, this picking fat and thin will inevitably make people gossip.

What to do? Xu Yingjie didn't sleep well all night, and the next day he came to the household with red eyes, and when he saw that there were more and more people gathered outside, he had always been shrewd, and he had no choice for a while, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

The officials of the household department were busy packing up the documents and books. Preparing to move to Jinling, the government office seemed a little busy.

Xu Yingjie found an opportunity to pull the cloud to a secluded place, squeaked and said the general situation of the matter, and asked him for help.

There is no way, if it is changed at another time, Xu Yingjie will let his wife beg Li Xiangjun or Yang Zhi, but now only Yun Qiao'er is by Qin Mu's side, if he waits for Yang Zhi and Li Xiangjun to intercede after they arrive in Jinling, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold.

Yun glanced at Xu Yingjie strangely, and then realized that he was the initiator of this matter. couldn't help but laugh and said: "Lord Xu is really generous, donating two million taels at a time, the lower officials really admire, admire"

"Daozheng, this is all burning eyebrows, don't make fun of me, Daozheng, you got back 69 million taels for Daqin at one time, compared to you, what am I? Just say it. Can you help with this favor? Xu Yingjie often invites the cloud to drink, and the relationship between the two is very hot, and he is not polite when he talks.

"This, the little girl is just a little girl ring next to King Qin. Let her tell King Qin about this, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

"Little girl? Daozheng, you don't look for this kind of excuse, forget it, you don't want to help with this. Xu had to find another way. ”

"Don't don't, don't be angry, Lord Xu is sincere in this matter. It's not what you want when things get like this, I'll send someone to send a letter to the little girl, so that if she has the opportunity, she will say a few good words to Lord Xu, as for whether it can be resolved, Yun doesn't dare to guarantee it, according to me, Lord Xu doesn't need to find more people to intercede, or find someone to send a secret letter to King Qin to explain it personally, so it seems more open. ”

Xu Yingjie couldn't help but stomp his feet when he heard this, this time it was really none of his business, and if he was concerned, he was in chaos, thinking about how to find a relationship and intercede, but he didn't expect that he would explain it frankly to Qin Mu in person.

"Daozheng's golden and jade good words, such as Daigo empowerment, this love Xu has been recorded, and it will be rewarded in the future." After Xu Yingjie finished speaking, he hurriedly went back to the Ya to write a letter, the reason why he wrote a letter instead of a chapter is because this matter is not suitable for publicity, and if he goes to the chapter, everyone will know that he is the initiator.

The matter was too big, Yang Zhi, Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan in the palace sat together, embroidered winter clothes for Qin Mu, and when they were gossiping, they couldn't help but mention this matter.

Dong Xiaowan has always liked to be quiet, and she is an extremely elegant person, and she spoke softly: "Sister, now the household department is uncertain, and I dare not accept the people's donations without authorization, and the people will gather but not disperse, if the matter is not resolved for a long time, I am afraid that the people will come to the palace to find my sister." ”

There is really such a possibility, Yang Zhi can't help but be a little worried, she has done a lot of things in Wuchang, but they are all small things within her ability, and they do not involve the country's military and political affairs. The old father of the family has also sternly warned her many times not to interfere in politics.

This matter has obviously involved the government, and it is difficult for her to come forward.

It's just that the people are sincere, especially like the old lady, the family is not good, and the three copper coins are also donated.

"What do you two sisters have in mind?" Yang Zhi stopped the needle and thread in her hand and asked with her eyes.

Li Xiangjun thought for a while and replied: "Among them, when the country was opened in the past dynasties, the country was difficult, and there were also people who accepted donations from the people. My Daqin is now expelling the Tartars, the military and food expenses are huge, to build the capital, it is not too much to accept donations from the people, but the matter is big, and the household department does not dare to make an arbitrary decision, this is if the elder sister comes forward, it will inevitably be gossiped in the future, saying that it is my royal family to ask for the people's assets, so in the opinion of the younger sister, it is better for the elder sister not to come forward. ”

Yang Zhi couldn't help but say angrily when she heard this: "You, you said a lot, which means that you didn't say anything." ”

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help laughing, glanced at Li Xiangjun, and said to Yang Zhi: "If the people really come to the palace, my sister still has to go to see the people to comfort their sincere hearts." However, when it comes to donations, my sister doesn't express her position directly, just say that there is a King of Qin who has negotiated with the minister to make a decision, so sincerely, I believe that the people will also understand my sister. ”

"Well, Xiao Wan's words are pretty much the same, Xiangjun, you are ghostly, slippery like a loach, if you find me in the future, don't blame me for not helping you."

"Ouch, sister, I know that it's not okay to be wrong? If you have a lot of adults, please forgive my sister this time."

Li Xiangjun put on a pitiful look, begging for mercy, Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but laugh again, Yang Zhi stretched out her forehead and said angrily: "If you are strange again, I really ignore you." ”

"Sister Xie Lu, Sister Xie knows that Sister Lu Dao is the best."

"Shao Poor Mouth, has the Bian family's sister cleaned up over there? If we pack up, we will invite her to go to Jinling with us in two days. ”

"Sister Hehe, you're too anxious, Sister Bian is now the daughter of Bian Langzhong's family, so it's not appropriate to let her go to Jinling on the same boat with us."

"There's nothing inappropriate, I'll have the final say."

Hey, not to mention, Yang Zhi put on a posture of a queen, and she is quite majestic.

In doing so, she actually wanted to convey an attitude to the ministers.

The ministers didn't know what to do, but she knew that it was only a matter of time before Bian Yujing entered the palace. Instead of letting the ministers talk about the matter of their heirs, it is better to take the initiative to show an attitude themselves, lest the ministers say that they are jealous.

Besides, Bian Yujing's identity is not clear to others, but she is clear, in other words, in other words, no matter what, even if Bian Yujing gives birth to a dragon son, it is unlikely to threaten her and Qin Ye's status, let alone Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan.

Therefore, she didn't have much trouble with these three people, and even intentionally or unintentionally co-opted the three of them to deal with possible threats in the future.

Women in this world are not simple, Yang Zhi's mother-in-law often whispers in her ear, plus there have been unpleasant things between the Yang family and Qin Mu, the sense of crisis in her heart has always been very strong, in order to protect herself, it is always inevitable to be careful.

Since Yang Zhi insisted, Li Xiangjun was also happy, she and Bian Yujing had the best relationship, Yang Zhi was the queen, and she took the initiative to invite Bian Yujing to be on the same boat, of course, it was a good thing, no matter what the ministers thought, but at least it showed that Yang Zhi did not reject Bian Yujing.

"Since my sister has decided, my sister will send someone to Bian's Mansion to say it later."

While the three were talking, they came in and reported it, and the people gathered around the gate of the palace to ask the queen to be the master.

Yang Zhi was confident, and generously went out to appease the people, and euphemistically explained her bitterness for not interfering in political affairs.

The people also understood, and after praising the queen's virtuous lady, they went to the household department.

When it comes to solving a problem, honesty is often more useful than opportunism.
